Profile:
With his tenth ball in Test cricket, Simon Brown trapped Pakistan opener
Aamer Sohail lbw and all seemed set fair. But that Test at Lord's in 1996
was Brown's first and last, and England supporters were given another
fleeting glimpse of what might have been. Brown says: "I would have liked
more caps, of course, but look what happened to other left-armers like Mike
Smith of Gloucestershire - one cap and then that's it. Don't know why
really."Tall and thin, "Chubby" Brown started his career at Northamptonshire in
1987, but struggled
to hold down a regular first-team place in competition with the likes of
Curtley Ambrose, Winston Davis, Greg Thomas and David Capel. He moved to
Durham in 1991 and the county achieved first-class status the following
year. Brown proved a consistent wicket-taker for England's youngest county
side but perhaps paid the penalty, certainly in the county's early years,
for having to carry an attack comprising novices and ageing veterans. His
form would slip towards the end of the season as the summer's workload took
its toll. He was awarded a benefit year in 2001 by Durham as he approached
his 500th first-class wicket for the county. (Graham Holburn, Copyright
